My Evening Skincare Routine!

Hey beaut's!

Today I thought I'd talk all things skincare and in particular my evening skincare routine. I watch some videos on YouTube and see people use 10+ products on their face before bed which is fine if that's what your skin needs but personally for me I'm not about that life, and have found four holy grail skincare products that I now repurchase over and over so I thought I'd share them with you all today and talk you through my routine. 

Firstly it's all about having a good ole cleanse, this is my favourite step in my evening skincare routine because I love that feeling of a fresh clean face and I love using my Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser for this, I've been using this for a good 3 months now and its honestly changed my cleansing life. I used to always use micellar waters before but since using Liz Earle's bottle of joy my skin has changed so much and for the better, my dry patches I've always suffered from have vanished, I've noticed a huge difference in the size of my pores, they have really shrunk and I definitely don't have as many blackheads around my nose as I did before and my skin always feel so soft, fresh and clean after using this cleanser too. 

Secondly I like to use my Ole Henriksen Truth Facial Water as a toner, this feels so nice on the skin after cleansing because its so cooling and refreshing on the skin but also has moisturising qualities that my skin is always lusting after, after a long day. It's great at adding a really natural glow to the skin too which I love.

The next step in my evening skincare routine is moisturising my skin and for this I use Vichy's Skin Sleep. This stuff is incredible, it's a gel like balm with a lovely light texture that sinks into the skin quickly and smells incredibley good. In the mornings I'm left with super soft, hydrated, fresh looking skin which is just what I need and look for in a night cream.

The last step in my skincare routine is my Clinque Pep-Start Eye Cream, this is probably best used in the mornings to be honest because of it brightening and de-puffing qualities but I find its super rich and moisturising and my eyes love it in the evenings.

And there you have it beaut's, my realistic evening skincare routine! Even though I use four products it honestly takes me no time at all to rub these lotions and potions in, all I need is five minutes and I'm done, so I really don't find this a chore at all. 

What are your holy grail evening skincare products beaut's? I'd love to know!

June Beauty Favourites ♥

Hey beaut's!

Its that time again.... Monthly favourites time! I know I say this every month but I cant quite believe how quick June has whizzed past, it honestly scares me that the months go by so quickly! This month I've actually had quite a few new things to try that fast became favourites of mine, in fact I've fallen in love with all the new things I've bought recently, and a couple of old favourites made their way back into my stash this month too! Anywhoo onto the few things I've been loving this month beauty wise!

Firstly this month I just HAD to feature the ever so popular Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. Can you believe I only bought this to try for the very first time just over a month ago, I know, I know, I'm super late to the party but better late than never I guess, and oh my goodness I'm in love with it! I've noticed such an improvement in my skins appearance since using the Cleanse and Polish, my dry patches are non existent, my skins completely clear and super soft, it's just incredible and I actually ordered another bottle yesterday because I cant bare the thought of running out of it!

Next I've been loving the Imperial Leather Comforting Marshmallow Shower Gel again, I bought two bottles in Superdrug a few weeks ago when it was on offer and you literally cant beat it's scent, it smells so soft, fluffy, sugary sweet and very feminine just like your showering in a sea of marshmallows, arhhh I love it! The Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Treatment Primer has been my haircare favourite during June, my hair was in such bad condition and I had to have all my long locks cut short so now I'm determined to look after my hair whilst I grow it out again. This primer leaves me with really shiny, silky smooth hair that super manageable and protected from the heat, it smells amazing too.

Makeup wise there's quite a few things I've been loving, I bought the Eyeko Skinny Brush Mascara and the Rosie Huntington Whitley Cream Eyeshadow Stick on a shopping trip with my girls a little while back and have been completely obsessed with both, I wont go into too much detail now because I plan on reviewing them both in full soon but they are both AMAZING! Something I dug out of my makeup stash and have been using everyday is my Sleek Blush By 3 Palette in CalfornI.A. The palette itself contains 3 cream blushers in pretty pinky/coral tones that are perfect for Summer and are just so easy to work with, it literally takes me seconds to apply and blend them in and I'm all about quick and simple makeup application and they last all day too.

Lastly for lips it just had to be my NYX Lip Pencil in Bedrose and Mac's Whirl Lipstick. The NYX lip pencil is so good, its matte but super creamy which means it applies and blends in with lipsticks like a dream, it's also waterproof which makes it super long lasting and goes with so many of my lipsticks. My Current lipstick obsession is Mac's Whirl, I've really been into the whole 90's vibe at the moment and Whirl is the ultimate 90's lipstick shade, I love blending it into my lips well so it's less intense and it looks gorgeous!


What have you been loving this month beaut's?? I'd love to know
